Decades before the Salem witch trials, two women stood trial for witchcraft in New Hampshire in the same year. Jane Walford and Eunice Cole lived within just a few miles of each other, but their lives ended quite differently. Their fates might provide insight into what a historical witch actually was, and why someone might defeat their witch accusation while another might not survive.

This is first episode of "The Real Witches of New Hampshire," a three-part series and collaboration between New Hampshire Public Radio and New Hampshire Humanities.
